TD Ameritrade And E*Trade: Wedding Bells?

To think customers would leave because of this merger is irrational. Etrade about went BK last year and at the same time loyal customers still stuck with Etrade so why would you think a lot of customers would leave in the event of a merger? Doesn't make sense.

TD Ameritrade And E*Trade: Wedding Bells?

Even if they were bought out why wouldn't you get the same elegant and integrated set-up you have now with E-trade? Ameritrade wouldn't buy a company like Etrade if they didn't like their current trading platform and set-up.

TD Ameritrade-E*Trade Deal Needs to Happen

It' a win win investment either way. ETFC is here to stay.

E*Trade: Very Undervalued

I'm long Etrade.

This company is here to stay and they have been through the worst and survived. I'm happy Etrade has stayed around this level so I can keep adding shares. Plan on adding some more this afternoon.

Good article.

E*Trade: Expect a Takeover Any Day Now

GS goes through their "due diligence" before ever putting a "buy" on a stock. Even if it's for their own selfish reasons I would get in on this stock now. Remember, ETRADE isn't going anywhere. BK isn't gonna happen. The only reason I see for the pessinism is those that lost big over year ago when Etrade fell like a rock.

Will TD Ameritrade or Charles Schwab Buy Up E*Trade?

Don't confuse Greed with SMART BUSINESS SENSE.

An Ameritrade-E*Trade Merger? Not as Crazy as It Sounds

ManaboutDallas////////... ETFC accounts?????? Why would anyone ever need 35 accounts or are you just shooting off your manhole?

8/share seems a bargain for Ameritrade. ETFC will probably take 10 to 12 share because their balance sheet looks good. They don't need to be acquired anyway. Their a good enough standalone company as it is.
